In order to extend the recycling of waterworks sludge to engineering applications, this paper addresses the influence of nano-SiO2 on incinerated waterworks sludge ash (IWSA) cement paste attacked by sulfate. Tests were performed such as length measurement for volume change, compressive strength, weight loss, and micro-structural testing using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results ind...

Replacement of cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is a proven method to reduce clinker in and contribute decreased CO2 emissions. Natural clays are commonly occurring that do not possess pozzolanic activity their original state. Mechanochemical activation (MCA) can be an alternative sustainable enhance reactivity. In this study, the reactivity three natural clays, originati...

Waste management is a crucial issue facing modern society. The generation of sewage sludge increasing annually due to the urbanization and improvement sanitation systems cities. construction sector has emerged as solution for elimination waste enormous volume materials that this can absorb. This paper evaluates pozzolanic activity ash (USSA) obtained following an uncontrolled-combustion process...

Nano science and technology is a new field of emergence in materials science and engineering, which forms the basis for evolution of novel technological materials. Nano technology finds application in various fields of science and technology. This article presents a critical review of the literature on the influence of nano silica in concrete and its application for the development of sustainab...

The addition of pozzolans has a potentially important role in the cement industry since using waste from other industries environmental benefits, including reduced CO2 emissions production. This study evaluates pozzolanic activity glass powder three different particle sizes (150 µm, 75 and 45 upper limits) compares results with those added technical standards found literature. Pozzolanicity was...

Pozzolans have been used to improve the some properties of concrete and also to reduce the cost of producing cement. Many researchers investigated pozzolanic cements, which were mostly made with kind of artificial or natural pozzolans. While the most recent investigations on pozzolan containing cements study the effect of pozzolan type, replacement amount and fineness, this study was investigat...

Fly ash is a waste produced in coal-fired thermal power stations. It has pozzolanic properties and can therefore be stabilized to achieve higher strength and durability required for use as pavement substructure specifically as subbase or base layer material. The stabilization of fly ash can be achieved by adding either cement, lime or other materials. Stabilization of fly ash with available ind...
